Blytheville’s Arkansas Aeroplex is the site of the 16th annual Lights of the Delta beginning Nov. 22. With six million twinkling lights and 45 major lighted motion displays on 40 acres, Lights of the Delta is one of the largest lighting festivals in the mid-south. Hayrides are available each night. Live music, pictures with Santa and a live nativity scene will be presented on select nights throughout the festival, which runs nightly through Dec. 28. you can log on to www.LightsoftheDelta.com for detailed information.

Ring in the holiday season in West Memphis as the town lights up Worthington Park on Nov. 24. Watch as Santa flips the switch to light up the trees, the water tower, and the bridge located inside the park, all adorned with thousands of beautiful lights. The focal point is always the 45-foot tree in the center of the park. From Nov. 27 through Dec.18, horse-drawn carriage rides are offered each Friday and Saturday evening in the park area and the adjoining neighborhood, where private homes are decorated for the holiday season. Log on to www.WestMemphis.org or phone 870-732-7598 to learn more.

If you love holiday lights as much as I do, make SURE and become a fan of the Arkansas Trail of Holiday Lights page on Facebook. If you take a photo of yourself in three different cities in Arkansas included on the Trail and submit them to the page, you will receive a free, limited edition holiday ornament! Find out more here.

In my opinion, there’s no better time to spend time with family and friends than driving through Arkansas, gazing upon some of the stunning light displays!
